Here is a good way to do that!
1) Genocide! Wage Utter Complete War With No Rules Whatsoever!
What I am about to quote, I read on a website and was quite impressed with its audacity
and SHEER RUTHLESSNESS....ironically it was WRITTEN BY an American on how to defeat Iran.
Take a few hundred Boeing 747 Cargo Aircraft from commercial fleets...which is easy to do if you`re a
China-sized or Russia sized power....and fill them all to the brim with 2 litre pop-bottles filled with styrene emulsion
infused gasoline...otherwise known as NAPALM...attach CHEAP blasting caps to each of the 100,000+
2 litre pop bottles...and begin bombing...aim first for every major grocery store and gas or fueling station...firebomb them ALL to a
crisp....this could be done in 24 hours and with 300 747s that`s like 3 MILLION NAPALM bombs which could start a very nice fire storm....then firebomb
ALL schools, ALL hospitals, and all power sub-stations...don`t need to bomb the power stations themselves...just the central distribution points.
With 300 747`s one could run 5 or 6 sorties per day per aircraft dumpling MANY MILLIONS of napalm bombs
an all major infrastructure. Forget about roads and housing at first...Get the Gas Stations, Food Marts, Wal Marts, Schools, Hospitals and Power and
Natural Gas Distribution Points.
Then one firebombs ALL farm land and POISONS it with Ethylene Glycol (Which is CHEAP and plentiful) to kill any chance of growing food in the
future.!!!! Now find all water reservoirs and dump massive quantities of
Flourine into the water using Flourine-filled 2 litre plastic bottles which won't react with the flourine...the water ITSELF will burn, releasing
hydrogen and cause FURTHER fire-caused destruction to nearby water distribution infrastructure. Do this in October and JUST before the major snows hit
and wait for winter to do its mass cull
of humanity!
ONLY THEN does one begin bombing transportation hubs, sea ports, refineries, mnanufacturing centres, airports, and government infrastructure.
At 6 sorties per day for 300 747 aircraft that`s 1800 bombing runs and 3 million bombs per day....do that for two weeks straight and the USA would be
brought to its knees.

While the above is an absolutely insane scenario because of our NUCLEAR RETALIATION capability,
as a purely intellectual exercise...its a quite plausible scenario on a militarily POSSIBLE basis...meaning
it COULD BE PHYSICALLY DONE in a logistically reasonable period of time... creating 30 million
2 litre napalm bombs with simple styrene infused gasoline is CHEAP and FAST using basic commercial-grade
infrastructure...buying or leasing 300 or more Boeing 747`s is quite easy on the commerical market.
Strip them clean and use em for mass bomb runs....all you need to do is add ANTI-surface to air missile
mitigation systems. Special forces would probably be sent over first to disable such systems on a tactical level.
and to counter Strategic Missile forces...may i suggest using computer imaging software to measure the visual disturbance of submarine wakes in
near-surface waters caused by bow-shocks as a large bulbous missile sub
PLOWS through the water. Once you find the bow-shocks which could be done OCEAN-WIDE by satellite,
just hit em all with MULTIPLE sub-roc missiles (i.e. super cavitation technology)...those subs would be TOAST
and then let the firebombing begin!
When the USA and Britain firebombed Dresden in 1944/1945 such firebombing was extremely effective killing more people
and destroying more infrastructure than both the atom bombs dropped on Japan which finally stopped WW2.
Ruthless and Deadly!

So in answer to the QUESTION as to WHETHER OR NOT the USA could be invaded by a foreign power,
the QUICK ANSWER IS YES !!!! ....BUT there would be a massive cost to the local environment and
a moral cost that MOST CITIZENS in the other country would NOT be willing to pay!
===
This rhetorical question regarding the Invasion of the USA is NOT really a technical or general warfighting
question...but rather a MORAL ONE....WHY would or SHOULD THEY?...aka the other country`s army!
Since the Earth's surface is 75% water, there is STILL LOTS of Leibensraum (or Living Room) to stake
a claim in and while fossil resources ARE beginning to become a bit short...so long there is still half
a quadrillion TONNES of untapped Methane Hydrates in the subsea environment usable for Energy Production,
i personally believe we STILL have enough time and resources usable for us Humans (however idiotic we actually are!) to SOMEHOW get us OFF this rock
into the BILLIONS of cubic LIGHT YEARS of living room available
in OUTER SPACE!!!!
So instead of us finding faster and nastier ways to kill us all...HELP US GET OF THIS ROCK!!!
